Hello, D Bowker, I received a technical response to our question from an expert:
SiteSearch (IDOL) cannot generate a list of broken links on a site. So to answer your question, aside from maybe parsing the Web Connector’s log files for warnings, I would assume the answer is "no." I assume that the web connector simply skips non-existent documents as it crawls the site. I don’t think IDOL would ever any record of them to search on. There are all kinds of tools out there for this purpose though. Why try to use IDOL for this?
Let us know your response and if this answered your question. Thank you!
